Play Video--Browser on Prim (BOP)

-
Find the link

• Any web page will do

Solutions

• People who use only Internet Explorer may have problems
• Simple fix: Install Chrome or Firefox
• Run the problem video once in Chrome or Firefox
• You don't need to do this again unless the problem recurs

Why

• Browsers need the right player to show video
• Some players (e.g, Flash) have special versions for IE
• Chrome and Firefox use general versions
• The SL browser for BOP needs the general versions
• The fix above causes the general versions to be installed

Have the authority to set the stream

• Not needed.  
• Anyone who can rez on the land can place a BOP prim

Set the stream

• Bop: Browser on prim, advanced
• Hear/see music/video media/BOP in Second Life 
• To see the video, each person must click the run button

LiveStream screen

• To make a screen poster (poster that shows mainly the screen) 
• Make a large prim and put the web page on it
• Edit the prim to the shape of the screen
• (Ctrl-Shift puts colored boxes on the edges. Drag them to drag the edges.)
• Adjust Texture Offset for the placement you want
• Adjust Repeats per Face to a fraction that makes the screen fit the prim
• Use small changes in the last 2 digits for fine adjustments
• Best have the video near the top of the page
